About Effetto VIOLA: Anxiety & Sleep
Randomized, double-blind clinical study at Ospedali Galliera in Genoa, Italy. Registered in the Italian Ministry of Enterprises register of innovative companies. Present at the Tor Vergata University lab (Rome) in the second-level Master's programme in Neuroaesthetics. Partner of Trenitalia, inside FRECCIAPlay, and of other leading companies and multinationals. Put on your headphones, press play, and in fifteen minutes your body winds down. Effetto VIOLA is the No.1 sound technology in Italy: frequencies designed and embedded inside real music — classical, ambient, pop — to support the mental states of relaxation, sleep, good mood and focus. This is not a meditation app. There is no technique to learn, no need to sit still in silence, nothing to be good at. Put on your headphones and listen: the sound does the rest. THE TEN MINUTES BEFORE Nothing has happened yet and your body is already racing: a meeting, a departure, a phone call put off for days. Fifteen minutes of RESET before your turn comes, and your body winds down while you wait. WHEN THE DAY HAS SQUEEZED YOU DRY RESET again, on the other side of the day: to bring down the tension and the physiological anxiety you have built up. Many people use it coming home, before dinner, as a border between work and the evening. WHEN YOUR MIND WILL NOT SWITCH OFF You lie down and it all starts again: the day, the list, that sentence that came out wrong. NOCTURNE accompanies falling asleep without asking anything of you — and it works for three-in-the-morning wake-ups too. WHEN NOTHING LIGHTS YOU UP There are stretches when everything stays flat and the things you used to enjoy say nothing anymore. UNITY supports good mood fifteen minutes at a time, without asking you to be positive on command. WHY THIS IS NOT JUST ANOTHER BINAURAL BEAT Imagine a shoe shop that only stocks one size: it suits very few people. Traditional binaural beats work like that — one fixed frequency, the same for everyone. Effetto VIOLA does the opposite. The frequencies are distributed inside each piece differently, track by track, to follow the rhythm the brain would produce by itself in that state. That is why not every track works the same way for everyone, and that is exactly the point. THE FIVE PROGRAMMES • RESET — bring the tension down, before or after • NOCTURNE — accompany falling asleep and night-time waking • UNITY — support good mood • FOCUS — long concentration, for study and work • CONTROL — for intimacy: less head, more presence HOW TO LISTEN You need headphones or earbuds: on a speaker the stereo construction is lost, and with it most of the work. You do not need a silent room or to stay still: many people listen on the train, at the office, in a waiting room. Tracks can be downloaded and played offline. One warning only: do not listen while driving. WHERE IT COMES FROM Effetto VIOLA was born in Bologna. The technology was the subject of a randomized, double-blind clinical study conducted at Ospedali Galliera in Genoa and published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics & Gynecology in 2020; the full collection of studies is at effettoviola.eu/scienza. FREE, THEN PREMIUM Two complete programmes stay free forever, with no ads. The subscription opens the whole catalogue — five programmes, dozens of tracks, offline listening — and the monthly plan starts with a three-day free trial.
